Chandrakhani Pass Trek 5D/4N

Trip overview

This five-day Chandrakhani itinerary starts at Rumsu and uses Ghankulhadi and Naya Tapru as approach stages. The pass is visited before returning towards the village. Compared with the four-day listing, an additional approach stage spreads the walking programme across more days. It is still a mountain trek with a longer pass day, and the upper route may change with snow or visibility.

Chandrakhani Pass Trek 5D/4N follows a 5 Days / 4 Nights schedule. The route stages below follow the scheduled package; weather and trail conditions can affect the final camp plan.

• Shared trail tent for two participants
• Morning meal, lunch, evening snacks and dinner
• Permissions for forest access and overnight camps
• Group first-aid supplies

Best months

The current listing uses a July–October season category. This is a planning label rather than confirmation that every month is suitable or open. Verify the departure's trail, road and weather conditions before booking.

Eligibility

Participants should be comfortable with repeated uphill walks and carrying their day essentials. A prepared first-time trekker should discuss the longest stage and suitability with the team. Confirm the actual age limit and any required health documents for the departure.

Accommodation

Use the departure's confirmed accommodation plan for the arrival base and each overnight stop. The current inclusion list is shown separately; tent sharing, bedding and toilet arrangements should be checked before booking. Higher trail stays have simpler facilities than town accommodation.

Meals

Check the written departure package for included meals and the first and last meal served. Tell the team about allergies and dietary requirements before payment so they can confirm arrangements. Carry the personal snacks advised in the briefing; special diets should not be assumed to be available at every stop.

Water, power & network

Do not depend on continuous mobile reception, campsite sockets or shops along the mountain stages. Carry refillable bottles and a charged power bank, keep travel details offline and ask the leader about the day's drinking-water refill arrangements. Share the itinerary before leaving the reporting base.

Departure dates & prices

Choose an open batch to see the final payable amount and current availability.

Getting to the trail

Prepare for your trek

Prepare gradually with regular brisk walks, stairs or uphill trails and practice carrying your daypack. Include several consecutive walking days during preparation and wear the shoes you will use on the route. Review the longest stage with the team and arrive rested for the programme.

Route safety

Uneven trails, cold conditions and steep sections can make a short programme demanding. Stay with the group, follow the briefing and report difficulty early. The plan can change with weather, snow, river conditions or access; no pass or summit completion is guaranteed.
